76 Initial steps using the NNCLI

 

Variable

 

Value

 

 

 

 

 

 

mode <asciislipppp>

 

Configures the communication mode for the

 

 

 

serial port. The default is American Standard

 

 

 

Code for Information Interchange (ASCII).

 

 

 

If you are configuring the modem port, you can

 

 

 

configure the port to use either the SLIP or the

 

 

 

PPP communication mode.

 

 

 

To configure this option to the default value, use

 

 

 

the default operator with the command.

 

 

 

 

 

 

mtu <bytes>

 

Configures the size of the maximum transmission

 

 

 

unit for a PPP link (0–2048). The default is 0. To

 

 

 

configure this option to the default value, use the

 

 

 

default operator with the command.

 

 

 

 

 

 

my-ip <ipaddr>

 

Configures the IP address for the server side,

 

 

 

the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, of

 

 

 

the point-to-point link. The default is 0.0.0.0.

 

 

 

Nortel recommends that you use the current IP

 

 

 

address for the management port. To configure

 

 

 

this option to the default value, use the default

 

 

 

operator with the command.

 

 

 

 

 

 

peer-ip <ipaddr>

 

Configures the peer (PC) IP address on the

 

 

 

point-to-point link. The default is 0.0.0.0. The

 

 

 

switch assigns this value to any PC that connects

 

 

 

through the modem port with configured TCP/IP

 

 

 

properties to obtain an IP address automatically.

 

 

 

If the client uses a static IP address, the Nortel

 

 

 

Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 accepts this

 

 

 

address. If you use Password Authentication

 

 

 

Protocol (PAP) authentication, you must ensure

 

 

 

that the client uses the correct IP address. To

 

 

 

configure this option to the default value, use the

 

 

 

default operator with the command.

 

 

 

 

 

pppfile <file>

 

Specifies the PPP configuration file to provide

 

 

 

details for authentication and other options to

 

 

 

include during the boot procedure of the switch.

 

 

 

The PPP filename is a string value of no more

 

 

 

than 64 characters. Identify the file in the format

 

 

 

{a.b.c.d:peer:/pcmcia//flash/}<file>. For more

 

 

 

information about this file, see “Procedure job

 

 

 

aid: PPP file” (page 77).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ATTENTION

 

 

 

 

Do not specify a PPP filename with more than

 

 

 

 

64 characters.

 

 

 

 

To configure this option to the default value, use

 

 

 

the default operator with the command.
